I NEED Confirmation here!!!

i'm pretty sure what it is, but just need a second opinion, my tranny has alot of oil on the bottom, i took the starter off and found oil on it, my clutch slips. i'm thinking my rear main seal (i.e. rear crank shaft seal). i was finding little drops of oil on my garage floor, now its a little puddle. i am almost certian thats what it is, but i think a second opinion is always a wise decision!

thanks!

check your cam seals, and your distributor seal

it is prob the rear main, but it could be seeping into the bell housing

 

[92dxhatch]

cam seal and distrib is okay, basically the top end of the motor is okay, just its seaping out of the tranny.

 

[jsaludar]

check the main oil you 'll need to remove the tranny.

 

[jsaludar]

sorry about that meant the main oil seal

 

[92dxhatch]

YEAH i knew i had to take off the tranny, i know now that it is the rear main seal, i'm ordering a rear main seal kit from felpro. so hopefully by the 12th, i can fix that. i was worried about buying a new clutch, but i was told that a good rubbing alchole will pull out all the oil in the clutch and flywheel. so thats comforting.

thanks for all the advise and confirmation, i had a really good idea that was my problem.

could also be the seal on the input shaft of the transmission

 

[92dxhatch]

yeah,i though of that, i have oil dripping, not tranny fliud. if it was tranny fliuid, then yes it would be the shaft seal.

manual transmissions don't use transmission fluid. They use oil/mtf/syncromesh.

 

[TurboMirage]

yup!

75w90 ftw.

 

[97hatch]

75/90 is way to thick you are suposed to use 10w30,10w40,Honda MTF, or syncromesh, wow if you are runing 75/90 you are probaly distrowing your trans as we speak

manual transmissions don't use transmission fluid. They use oil/mtf/syncromesh.

yeah, i know, i was just thinking in general, tranny+fluid= trany fluid. i know to use mtf, i was just being lazy.
